Navigating Microsoft GP End-of-Life

Recent Microsoft Great Plains announcements have sparked a renewed interest in the future of the product. So, what should a GP customer do about the end of support expected in 2029? 

Talk to an Expert

The following versions of Microsoft GP are the ONLY ones still actively supported by Microsoft: 

  • Microsoft GP 2015 & 2015 R2
  • Microsoft GP 2016 & 2016 R2
  • Microsoft GP 2018 & 2018 R2

With this support ending in 2029, it is best to start planning your migration path now. Several factors can influence the direction of your ERP journey, especially when migrating away from a legacy system.

An "upgrade" is really a brand-new implementation to a different product, even with Business Central. So it is worth speaking to an independent expert to weigh all your options before following Microsoft's recommended path.

Don't see your version on the list?

If your version is not on the list, then you are no longer receiving active support. Remaining on unsupported older versions of Microsoft Great Plains means you could face:

  • No vendor support for hot fixes.
  • Increased security vulnerabilities.
  • Compliance issues.
  • Lack of scalability.
  • Unstable database prone to crashing.
  • And much more.

The adaptability of EAG with us, in terms of defining the process, was really helpful and that’s what we needed. We didn’t need someone to help us understand what an ERP solution is. We knew what we needed, we just needed somebody to help us navigate the process in the right way. The work ERP Advisors Group did up front with vendors was so helpful. They took that off our plates and got us the answers we needed without us having to invest a ton of time into it, which was exactly what we had been looking for.
